Sometimes snow just feels right.
In the same way that a thunderstorm
clears the heaviness from a summer day, only colder,
or the spot beneath your pillow
cools your cheek on a still, breezeless night, only fluffier,
or a bright new carpet without a step upon it
lights up the room you’ve looked at for years, only larger.
A man takes an oath for change
before a million sparkling faces standing as one.
And it feels like snow.

The snow field was breathtaking. I loved your words - snow does feel right sometimes.
Snow has its moments and I had only wished to be one of those millions watching!
It's a marvel how different types of snow look different. I love new snow.
I agree that sometimes snow just is right.Love the first picture,but they all look good and the verse is so true.
Blessings,Ruth
Beautiful prose and so true!
Just yesterday I was looking at a field strewn with Queen Ann's Lace laden heavy with snow and it filled my heart. But your words say it all. You are truly blessed with the gift of words. So glad I started my day with your lovely verse.
Yes, it is always so encouraging to have one of those "feels right" moments. Beautifully said Nina.
What wonderful pictures.
Yours is the second Queen Ann's Lace with snow that I have seen this morning. I think it is really something special.
All does feel right with the world at this moment.... I hope it lasts...(unlike the snow....) Have a bright day!
I love the Queen Anne's Lace holding cupsful of snow. Beautiful pictures and moving thoughts.
I echo the sentiments of NCnaturewoman.
Your words ring true, and your pictures are perfection... the Queen Anne Lace looks like a beautifully sculptured ice cream cone.
Always a pleasure to stop by and catch up with your beautiful blog

I have loved this snowy period--so beautiful.
These snow shots actually warmed me up, they are all so beautiful! Thanks
That first photo is so pretty
That 1st shot is fantastic, but that 2nd shot is a great shot for Sky Watch Friday!

Hats off to you Nina! You have built up and expressed your thoughts beautfully.
Your selected photos match your thoughts to perfection.
I love the Queen Anne's Lace cupping the snow so gently like holding someone's soul in your hand.
Muchas gracias Nina, por tu visita y comentario en mi blog.
Tu sensibilidad para captar los momentos me ha convertido en una admiradora de tu fotografÃa.

What a beautiful post! I especially love that first photo. I call snow like this - enough to be pretty, but not enough to cause a lot of trouble - "tasteful snow." Beautiful photos.
I had never seen snow on Queen Anne's Lace before. Your post is so lovely, pictures and words!
Oooh... I love that "million sparkling faces standing as one"!
Your words and images are always healing.
You have out done yourself with this metaphor! Marvelous!
